Natural Areas

Environmental Preservation
The Park and Recreation Department's commitment to environmental self-stewardship means managing park lands and resources so they can be used and enjoyed now and in the future. The department has established a Natural and Wildflower Program in an effort to beautify properties within the park system and reduce the environmental impact of mowing large areas of park land on a regular basis.

The Park Department has been working to identify locations throughout the park system where natural and wildflower areas could be established in order to meet the city*s goals of reducing carbon emissions.
